“By signing Indiana’s Parent Pledge, you are signifying your strong and ongoing commitment
toward the academic development and career success of your child. Thank you for being a caring,
involved and accountable parent. Keeping your promise in mind, I promise the Indiana
Department of Education will not rest until every Hoosier child receives an education that is best in
the nation and on par with our global competitors.”
-State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett
As a parent, grandparent or caring adult I hereby affirm my commitment to the academic achievement
and career success of my child. I promise to make the pursuit of knowledge a priority in my household.
To demonstrate my commitment to this goal, I pledge to adhere to the following principles:
My child will read with an adult or be encouraged to read independently each day.
My child will complete all homework assignments given by school instructors and will be encouraged
to ask for help when it is needed.
My child will arrive at school on time, well rested and prepared for a full day of instruction and learning.
My child will treat teachers and fellow classmates with respect and compassion. I will make positive
behavior the expectation in my household.
My child will graduate from high school and will understand the importance of a strong education in
determining future success.
I will encourage my child to dream big and always give 100 percent effort.
I will treat my child’s teachers as a valuable resource and work with them to support academic
improvement and classroom behavior expectations.
I will monitor my child’s academic growth and stay as involved as possible in my child’s education. I
will let the teacher know right away if I notice any problems.
Together, my child and I, in partnership with Indiana’s educators,
will make education our #1 priority.
